History:
I have done three estate-clearing jobs in the past year. Carefully accepting jobs from people I know and in some cases I am familiar with history of the items I list.
I am determined to find homes for even the smallest items. Many items go to charity when our local charities have their doors open.
It amazes me how much some who clear estates, throw away. I like to think of it as the ultimate form of recycling or upcycling.

There's always someone who will match with an item, it's just a matter of making the effort to find them.

A note about our authentication and correctness of descriptions:
We have exercised reasonable effort to describe each item we sell, correctly and accurately. Unless otherwise noted there is no official authentication of our items, authentication comes with a fee, and will mean additional costs. Most of our items that are certified authentic are done so via consignment sales, usually specialized auction companies. We take as many photos as we can to show details of our items, and do our best to describe any flaws.
We know many of our items from estate clearances are "loved," have been used, and will show signs of wear and or storage.

History:

Estate sales are not the same now with this pandemic, so we are trying this online platform for antiques and vintage items.

It amazes us how much some who clear estates, throw away. That means many missed opportunities, estate sales, to us, is the ultimate form of recycling or upcycling.

There's always someone who will match with an item, it's just a matter of making the effort to find the right person and make that match.

We appreciate your interest and business. There are hundreds of items waiting to be posted from small to large, from antique to vintage, from funky to elegant...
Keep checking back!

A personal note about selling on Etsy from our store owner, we put our own store at risk by posting this message, but we have not received answers from Etsy about these concerns:
We are disappointed to see so many items for sale on Etsy that do not comply with Etsy policies. We take Etsy rules and policies seriously and comply them. When items we have to sell do not qualify per Etsy rules and policies, we sell them on other online platforms and in person, we do not and will not violate Etsy policies. Items that are not handmade should not be listed as handmade. Items that are not vintage should not listed as vintage. Examples we see often are the planters we purchase from floral suppliers to use with Sola arrangements, sold here on Etsy by other sellers as handmade or vintage planters. This is unfair to those who make similar items by hand. It is impossible for artists to compete with factory-made.
Please, if you see something listed as handmade or vintage, that you suspect is imported and or factory made, ask the seller to clarify, and report the item to Etsy.
Help us keep Etsy honest and true to it's advertising.
